You have an exact valued identity.
Nothing can see you exactly are you are but God.
Therefore God exists.
In holy books, this emphasized but not in formal logic format, but everyday language format.
And you wonder why we laugh at your 'logical' arguments...
Seriously, are you that obtuse that you are unable to detect the logical fallacies and unsupported assertions in your argument? Rhetorical question, no need to answer...

P2 - You have an exact valued identity.
I guess I have no problems with agreeing with your first 2 premises. Your wording is a bit clumsy, though.
Quote:P3 - Nothing can see you exactly are you are but God.
This is a basic violation of logic. It is question begging. You are including your conclusion as one of your premises. This invalidates the modus ponens of your syllogism.
Quote:Conclusion - Therefore God exists.
YOur conclusion does not follow from your premises.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
